Embodiment 1

[0012] A maskless reactive ion etching textured surface preparation method for single crystal silicon wafers with reasonable ratio and high preparation efficiency, the process gas used in the method includes CF 4 , O 2 and SF 6 The mixed gas, the specific steps are: the etching process of the single crystal silicon wafer is completed in the reaction chamber, firstly, the single crystal silicon wafer to be etched is placed in the reaction chamber; then the CF 4 , O 2 and SF 6 After mixing according to the ratio required by etching, it is filled into the reaction chamber according to the speed and pressure required by etching. 4 , O 2 and SF 6 Ionize into plasma, and accelerate the plasma by reflecting the radio frequency power BRF in the chamber; finally, etch single crystal silicon wafer through plasma;

[0013] In this example, CF 4 and O 2 The composition ratio of the mixed gas is: CF 4 , O 2 and SF 6 The component ratio is 12:1:4; the pressure of the reaction cha...

Embodiment 2

[0015] In this embodiment, on the basis of embodiment 1, change CF 4 , O 2 and SF 6 The composition ratio of the mixed gas, the CF 4 , O 2 and SF 6 The ratio of the ratio is set to 17:3:20, and the preparation time for the suede surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer is 5 minutes.

Embodiment 3

[0017] In this embodiment, on the basis of embodiment 1, change CF 4 , O 2 and SF 6 The composition ratio of the mixed gas, the CF 4 , O 2 and SF 6 The ratio of the ratio is set to 5:3:29, and it takes 19 minutes to prepare the suede surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer.

[0018] The results of Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3 show that Example 2 has the shortest preparation time and the best effect.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a single-crystal silicon wafer maskless reactive ion etching suede preparation method. The process gas applied by the preparation method comprises a gas mixture of CF4, O2, and SF6. The method comprises the following specific steps: in the etching process of a single-crystal silicon wafer completed in a reaction chamber, firstly placing the single-crystal silicon wafer that needs to be etched in the reaction chamber; then after the CF4, O2 and SF6 are mixed according to the ratio required by etching, filing the mixture gas into the reaction chamber according to the speed and pressure required by the etching, and meanwhile ionizing the CF4, O2 and SF6 filled into the reaction chamber into plasma through a radio-frequency power source ARF in the reaction chamber, and accelerating the plasma through a radio-frequency power source BRF in the reaction chamber; and finally etching the single-crystal silicon wafer through the plasma. The single-crystal silicon wafer maskless reactive ion etching suede preparation method provided by the present invention has the advantages that the mixture gas used in the method is reasonable in proportioning and high in production and preparation efficiency, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells is improved, and the process is simple.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a monocrystalline silicon etching method, in particular to a method for preparing a monocrystalline silicon wafer without a mask reactive ion etching suede. Background technique [0002] At present, in order to overcome the randomness brought by wet chemical etching to prepare the textured surface, there are attempts to prepare the textured surface by mask reactive ion etching, but the method of mask reactive ion etching is complicated in process and high in cost.
